Over two to three years, artist Nana Tchitchoua and fashion designer Irina Tevzadze collaborated on a series of experimental garments while Irina was living in Arizoa and working in ASU FIDM, Nanuka hand-dyed cottons, canvases, and other textiles in Los Angeles, often using indigo, one of the world’s oldest natural dyes, before sending them to Irina to transform into garments. Rooted in the traditions of indigo dyeing and driven by a commitment to zero-waste practices, the collaboration responded to the growing problem of excess in contemporary fashion. The result: a collection of one-of-a-kind, high-end unisex pieces that merge art, textile experimentation, and fashion.
